  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Rio Ave FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Samu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 45' It’s a booking for FC Vizela player. Joao Escoval gets a Yellow card.
  • 50' Andre Pereira was booked on 50.
  • 52' The referee calls foul for Matias Lacava. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 55' What a strike from Samuel Essende! The score is 0-1.
